Monday, March 6, 2023 - This wine offers an elegant bouquet of leather and a blend of red and black fruits. I also detected subtle oak notes, but they are not intrusive at all. I am not sure if I would have guessed Bordeaux. The longer the wine stayed in the glass the more the fruit showed. The tannins are velvety smooth, making it a delight to drink right away. However, it also has great aging potential if you want those secondary aromas. DRINK or HOLD. 93-95

EDIT:After roughly two hours the wine behaved more like a Bordeaux, tons of fun, still good QPR, finished the bottle.
